Deductions & credits

Hello all,

 

I have a quick question:

 

Suppose a parent in Kenya, Africa is going to send their child in America $500k-1M. The parent is not a US citizen, but the child is a US citizen. What are the tax implications for both parties? Should the parent send it as a “gift” or not, and why?

 

  • I did some googling and it said that is you are a US citizen and you are receiving $$ from a parent who is NOT a  US citizen, then you do not have to pay taxes. However you will need to file a 3520.
  • I couldn’t find any information about being a resident in Kenya, Africa from PWC (informations unavailable)..
